Camouflage Nails

Attention!
Stand at ease soldier with these camouflage nails. You don’t want your bare
nails sticking out like a sore thumb (pun intended!) so let’s cover them up!

This is
a super easy nail design. I tried it using a basic colours found in army
outfits but you can of course choose to do this with other colours. For example
if you choosing to do a blue camouflage design, you will need a black, dark,
medium and light blue nail polishes. Let me show you how mine was done!

Start
off with a neutral base coat colour. Here I’m using China Glaze Kalahari Kiss
from the Safari collection.

Using a
dotting tool, draw on random spots using a dark brown colour. I’m using China
Glaze Street Chic from the Metro collection. At this point it looks like a
giraffe skin!

Now add
some green spots using the dotting tool covering slightly over some of the
brown spots. Here I’m using China Glaze Agro from the Hunger games collection.

Finish
off the camouflage look by adding black spots randomly just like you did with
the green. Here I’m using China Glaze Liquid Leather.

Seal off
your design with your favourite top coat for a simple yet stunning look! I’m
definitely repeating this one but as a blue camo next time!

Welcome back everyone! Today I'm sharing my replication of the Wilton method to making Royal Icing and some simple decorations you can make with the Wilton tip 21. This is an open star tip and can be paired with a simple leaf tip like a Wilton 352 to make small drop flowers.

In today's yummy post we are doing an easy sponge cake (no creaming of butter and sugar involved). Instead of torting this cake we are using two loaf pans to give us our two layers, which we will pull together with vanilla buttercream. I love the rectangular look of this cake rather than the traditional round or square but more importantly the flavors of the toasted coconut on the sides and fresh fruit on top makes for a mouth watering dessert.
